Before: CANBY, FRIEDLAND, and R. NELSON, Circuit Judges.

California state prisoner Kevin Walker Jones appeals pro se from the district
court’s interlocutory order denying his motion for a permanent injunction in his 42
U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional claims. We have jurisdiction under 28
U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We review for an abuse of discretion. Cummings v. Connell,

MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK
U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

2 19-55206
316 F.3d 886, 897 (9th Cir. 2003). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Jones’s motion for
a permanent injunction because the district court lacked the authority to grant
Jones’s requested relief as it was related to non-parties. See Zepeda v. U.S.
Immigration Serv., 753 F.2d 719, 727 (9th Cir. 1983) (explaining that the scope of
an injunction is limited to the parties in the action).
We do not consider Jones’s remaining contentions because they are outside
the scope of this interlocutory appeal.
All pending motions and requests are denied.
AFFIRMED.
